SABnzbd Forums

just started using sabnzbd and was finding it excellent...however to day i have the following error when trying to start it up

Welcome to SABnzbd.exe 0.4.9



SABnzbd needs a free tcp/ip port for its internal web server.
Port 8080 on localhost was tried , but it is not available.
Some other software uses the port or SABnzbd is already running.

Please restart SABnzbd with a different port number.

Press Startkey+R and type the line (example):
    "C:\Program Files\SABnzbd\SABnzbd.exe" --server localhost:8081

If you get this error message again, please try a different number.


Program did not start!

can anyone help??

also can i install on more than one pc?

Was sabnzbd already running? In the future bookmark http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd/ and use it to access after SABnzbd has been started.

If you want to access sabnzbd from another pc, enter 0.0.0.0 as the host in config>general.

If SABnzbd was not already running, do what the error message tells you to do..(Startkey = Windows Key)

tried windows cant find it totally stumped

What?

Start>Run, enter:

thanks mate that worked... i owe you a pint
